You can, but you need to use X-Gauges with a Scangauge or custom PIDs with Torque. You can also use a mini-VCI adapter that plugs into a laptop, which is the same thing the dealer uses, so it's great for troubleshooting and certain maintenance procedures.

I'm just using an Ultragauge in my Prius, so I just have to hope for the best when it comes to the inverter temp. I have the snorkel removed from the airbox, so my intake temp should be pretty close to the under hood temp. The highest I've seen was 90 or 100F for the intake with the full block. I'll have to bring my laptop and mini-VCI with me on my next trip and see how the inverter temps look.
